In the Magazine of Natural History (vol. iv. p. 248.) 

 are comparative tables of the monthly quantity of rain 

 at Wycombe, Epping, and Edmonton, for the seven years 

 preceding 1831, and at Carlisle from 1819 to 1826, in- 

 clusively, drawn up by Mr. G. Tatem. They may be 

 consulted with advantage, 



c. Progress of the Seasons as indicated by that of 

 Vegetation. 



I have felt desirous of ascertaining the local differences 

 in the progress of the seasons, as indicated by the pro- 

 gress of vegetation. To facilitate this, I kept lists or 

 registers of the dates of flowering of wild plants about 

 Barnstaple and Thames Ditton, from January to May in 

 1833 and 1834, and at Keswick in the latter part of May 



* The quantity of rain for Glasgow appears to be erroneous. It 

 is given (21 inches) as little more than one-half the mean for the 

 western counties ; while at Stocky Muir, only twelve miles distant, it 

 is said to be 43 inches.
